IMPROVEMENT IN GARDEN PLOWS AND MARKERS.

Speciiication forming part et' Letters Patent No. 97,50@ dated December 7, 1869.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY HAYNswoR-.rI-I, of Sumter, in the district of Sumter and State of South Carolina, have invented a new and Improved Garden Plow and M arker; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in hand garden-plows for making and marking furrows and drills for planting, and for plowing between rows of plants for cultivating.

1t consists of a curved and forked beam, an-

O swering for beam and handles, a wheel at the front end of the beam forsupporting it, a plow or scraper behind the wheel, and a markersupporting arm hinged to the beam, so as to project laterally therefrom, and to be turned to either side for marking the next row by a marking-rod, supported at a suitable distance lfrom the beam, all as hereinafter specified.

` The drawing represents a perspective view of my improved plow.

A is a curved beam of wood of any size and length, as required. Itis forked at the upper end and shaped into handles. The other end is curved, so as to rise from a point in rear thereof above a horizontal line when the handles are held in the hands by the operator.

B is a small roller, connected to the beam by a stud-pin, C, at the front end, for rolling along the ground. A number of holes is prov vided in the front end of the plow-beam, and the pin O is adjustable from one to the other,

so that the part of the beam which supports the plow D may behigher-or lower, according to the depth it is required to make the furrow. The said plow may be of any shape or size.

As the beam is pushed along before the operranged vertically in the arm E, so that it will make a mark in the ground at the side of the plow when the latter is pushed along. The arm is provided with a number of holes between the joint with the beam and the end, for changing the marker to mark for wide or narrow rows.

This implement may be made wholly of wood, or all of wood except the plow,and may be .very lightl for use in gardens, either for marking the rows and making drills or for weeding between the rows of young plants.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The herein described improved garden plow and marker, consisting of the beam A, wheel B, plow D, arm E, and marker G, all combined and arranged substantially as specied.

H. HAYNSVVORTH.
